5.0

This latest from Lulu Moore is such a fun book. I learned so much about rowing and I'm completely hooked and can't wait for book 2!

I truly loved everything about this book especially the meet cute, the friends groups, the rowing, the rivalry, and of course the romance.

Moore was kind enough to help us out with some terminology at the front of the book, but I still looked up a few other things while reading and even watched some rowing on YouTube, but it would have still made sense even if I hadn't - I just wanted the full picture. 

I really loved the settings in this book. The campus and country descri tions were so wonderful and I loved the times they chatted about American culture differences. 

Sometimes I don't like college age, but these characters were very devoted athletes and scholars so I found myself really loving them. 

The romance in this was everything. I loved how they connected and supported each other. I loved how they pushed each other to be better. I loved their long distance relationship. I loved the steam. It was so well wonderful. I even went back and reread a few parts. 

I received an advanced copy of this book through Valentine PR. This is my honest review.
